you're asking the wrong question 1507. it's not if hannahan will hit better than a tired votto tomorrow or next week? the question is what will votto be like on october 1 if he doesn't get a rest or two? if the reds are one of the wild cards they will have to play, in all likelihood, st. louis or pittsburgh. then, if they win, they're off to atlanta or los angeles. it's a brand new grind, after the grind of a 162 game regular season. fatigue can have extraordinary ill effects on a person of any profession. i could be wrong, but more mental errors, than you would normally see from a colleague, is usually a tell tale sign of fatigue. the man has played virtually every game and participated in all-star week. rest him for a game against the cubs and astros. i know the reds are pursuing the division crown, but what difference does it make if your best hitter is drooling and burnt out come october 1? hyper focused, hard working, perfectionists with superior talent need days off too. how much money he makes doesn't matter. if you are exhausted, for whatever reason, you are exhausted. and you can not, and will not perform at your best. try as you may.

So having him go 0-for-5 again with 3 called strikeouts ... that ought to make the team better.
